Lose Weight this New Years, feel healthier and have more energy!
One of the most common New Years resolutions is to lose weight and live healthier. Looking forward and saying “my goal is to lose 25 pounds this year” is a great start in the right direction but that 25 pounds can turn into a mountain pretty quickly.
Always remember to break up your long-term goals into smaller, shorter-term goals. So that 25 pounds quickly turns into 2 pounds a month, which is very easily attainable – and surpassable, it all depends on your motives.
To begin with assessing your current diet and calories, write down everything you eat for two weekdays, and 1 weekend day (read the nutrition facts, and if you are having troubles with any foods, visit http://www.nal.usda.gov/fnic/foodcomp/search/ and search for the food item you need to find information on). Include everything; from your water intake to your little snacks. By writing down everything your body intakes daily, you’ll be able to see how you can gauge your weight loss by cleaning up your diet alone.
1 pound = 3500 calories, so if you break that up into 7 days out of the week, that’s 500 calories a day that you can eat less of to lose 1 pound per week.
You may think that 500 calories a day is a lot, but it’s really not, you can find 500 calories that are empty calories and calories that your body can do without: a snickers bar alone has around 225 calories.
1 pound a week by cleaning up your diet is very do-able and something that can be easily attained by just being more concious about what’s going into your body, and by keeping empty calories out (empty calories are calories that your body takes in without any vitamin, mineral, or nutrient benefit; such things as candy bars, chocolates, ice cream, etc – but these are also good rewards so just be mindful).
Keep in mind that eating smaller portions throughout the day, about 3 hours apart will also help you burn more calories. As well as supplementing your body with Acai Berry Products. Acai Berries are very antioxidant rich and help to increase your metabolism.
